Hebrews 9:27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
I am not sure who this is from:
THE DAY OF THE SAVIOR'S SECOND COMING WILL BE ONE OF UNUTTERABLE JOY TO THE RIGHTEOUS. With what transports of joy shall we, who believe in Jesus, hail the dawn of that long-promised, long-desired day, when we shall be raised from the dust of death, in the likeness of our Redeemer, to hear His blessed sentence; to sit with Him on a throne of glory; to become the companions of holy men and angels; and to be crowned with all the happiness of heaven! It is impossible for us now to conceive the joy which will fill the glorious assembly of the redeemed, when, in the great day of final accounts, they are accepted, acquitted, and presented faultless before the throne of God. Then will these glorious words be accomplished, 'Yet we have this assurance: Those who belong to God will live; their bodies will rise again! Those who sleep in the earth will rise up and sing for joy! For God's light of life will fall like dew on his people in the place of the dead!' Oh, it is sweet to think that we shall awake from our slumbers, 'low in the ground,' to rejoice with a triumphant Savior, and to sing the new song of heaven. What joy will fill the rising saint, when he sees that he has left behind Him all sin, and sorrow, and pain, and tears; and that He possesses a body which is ever to bloom with youth, and beauty, and vigor, and to shine as the sun through the endless ages of eternity! Then will have come the period of our complete redemption, when, arrayed with the beams of the Sun of Righteousness, we shall lift up our heads with joy unspeakable and full of glory.
